Just my 2 cents... SynHak is an a unique position as not only in the city of inovation, but also a community resource. Spreading experience into the community and building a community of artists, makers, hackers, and skilled professionals & hobbyist seems to be at the core of the mission. We posses raw talents to build a thriving community but it is not easy. A donated 3d printer would be the "shot in the arm" that could help SynHak SHOW people in out city and surrounding counties that creating something or reworking something or fixing something is something that we all can do and SHOULD do. The world is needing makers not consumers. A 3d printer will help us make that mission come true faster for more people.
